Absolutely awesome. I knew some of the guy's works, but the recent stuff is out of this world! I extended an invitation to him to join my Whifcraft group on dA.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Some interesting CGI's of polish a/c here. Some of them are whifs too.

Which ones are whifs? They all seem to be real-life types...

PZL-38 is one, although more of an almost-flew.

PZL-38 Wilk, same Woolf, same Lupus II (with only 2 prototypes!) may not be a whif, but the a/c sporting polish markings and code 11 is highly imaginative, IMHO.

QuoteStealthy Phantom
Maybe some F-35 type Whatifs, VTOL comes to mind. Hatch behind cockpit and angle the nozzles.

Lovely design.

I just have serious doubts about the practicality of tail landings, either under rocket power or by parachute.

You and me both, but Skeets Coleman managed it quite a number of times with the XFY-1 Pogo. But even he reckoned it was impractical for the originally intended use aboard ship.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
